Patch 1040 — Improved data collection for Windows Application Usage
The data collection of Windows Application Usage has been improved.
In some cases, records with UNKNOWN application would be logged, where
the duration was more than just a second or two. (Those very short records
represent usage that is too short for AppUsage to be able to obtain the
required application information.) In the cases where the duration exceeds
just a few seconds, AppUsage now have a backup system for obtaining the
application information.
Notice that this problem only occured in some special cases, for most
users, this should not be a problem.
Patch 1035 — Will improve shutdown sequence, to avoid loss of data
When shutting down the machine, AppUsage and WinSAR will now detect shutdown, and
log data remaining in memory before ending. This will avoid a previous loss of
such data during shutdown.

Installation
